New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reveals the path of the "ordinary mystic," and invites readers into the refuge of experiencing deep, lasting, real communion with Jesus. In this present age we are all becoming disciples of the Internet. We are addicted to distraction. We idolize our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. We think we're finally holding the keys to a better life. But if that's true, why are we wrestling with ever-increasing levels of anxiety, dissatisfaction, and despair? The fact is, we live in a world of weary, skeptical pragmatism--and it's keeping us from experiencing the God we are dying without.

Don't Let Doubt Define or Defeat You | Restored & Sent Have you ever felt like your questions and doubts disqualify you from faith? You're not alone. The reality is that doubt is something virtually all Christians experience at some point in their faith journey. We'll challenge the one-dimensional view of "Doubting Thomas" by revealing six dimensions of his faith journey that are often overlooked. Through Thomas's story in the Gospel of John, we discover a disciple who was: 1. Willing to Sacrifice - When others hesitated to follow Jesus into danger, Thomas boldly declared, "Let us also go that we may die with him" (John 11:16) 2. Prepared to Follow - Even when uncertain of the destination, Thomas honestly asked questions to better understand and follow Jesus 3. Fully Honest - Rather than pretending to believe, Thomas expressed his doubts openly 4. Supported with Evidence - Jesus didn't rebuke Thomas for his questions but provided the evidence he needed 5. Stronger Than He Gets Credit For - Thomas made one of the strongest confessions of faith in scripture: "My Lord and my God!" 6. A Faith That Spreads to Others - Thomas's journey from doubt to conviction continues to help countless believers You'll walk away with a new perspective to never allow a season of doubt to limit your future walk with and effectiveness for Jesus. God is big enough to handle your questions and has given us all the evidence we need. Whether you're currently wrestling with questions or walking alongside someone who is, this message offers practical hope that doubt can be a doorway to deeper belief rather than a dead end.

Can a faith that has not changed us, save us? What would James say to the one who claims a faith in Christ but whose life shows no deeds to authenticate that claim? James is straight to the point with us: Faith without works is dead. This week we unpack the beautiful reality that a genuine faith will get expressed, not perfectly but patternly, in a life of obedient works to God. Let's let this text search our hearts this week to ensure the faith we claim is the faith we live.

Redeemer Bible Church Sermon Audio

People of this world get enamored with the rich, powerful, and celebrity.  Often these people are preferred and pedestaled.  Even as Christians, it can be easy to fall into playing favorites with those who carry a high social standing in this world. James warns us in this passage that doers of the word don't live like this.  Marked by gospel shaped hearts, and motivated by Great Commandment love, genuine doers of the word shun a life of partiality and favoritism, and seek to love the hearts of people regardless of external appearance and socio-economic status.  To cut it straight: Genuine Christians don't play favorites.

 The Times of Israel, By Gabriel Lamza, March 9, 2023, https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/what-is-pure-and-authentic-faith/Faith is often presented as a virtue, a connection to the divine, or a means of understanding the world. However, in attempting to defend this notion, many religious arguments reveal their own contradictions. One such example is an article that claims the biblical phrase "made in God's image" refers to humanity's ability to think independently. Yet, this directly contradicts the biblical narrative, which states that Adam and Eve lacked moral awareness until they ate from the Tree of Knowledge, thereby gaining the ability to discern good from evil. If humans were truly created with independent thought, then why was acquiring knowledge seen as an act of defiance? This contradiction exposes the apologetic gymnastics often required to reconcile faith with reason. The article further asserts that faith requires the complete submission of one's reasoning to divine authority, essentially equating godliness with obedience rather than critical thinking. This idea undermines the initial claim that thinking is what connects humans to God. By its own logic, faith is not a tool of intellectual independence but rather a mechanism for suppressing thought. This is precisely why faith can be dangerous—when belief supersedes evidence, there is no limit to what one might justify in the name of faith. While many use faith for good, history is filled with examples of atrocities committed under divine justification. Adding to the confusion, the article includes a bizarre analogy involving a train and tiny horses, meant to illustrate how humans often misinterpret the unknown. Instead of accepting ignorance as an opportunity for further exploration, the author suggests that one should simply assume an unseen force—God—is at work. This highlights a common problem in religious thinking: the insistence that unanswered questions must default to divine intervention rather than admitting uncertainty. However, just as educating people on how engines work eliminates the need for "tiny horses," education and critical thinking remove the necessity of religious explanations for the unknown. Finally, the article claims that faith is a rational conclusion and that even the most logical individuals will ultimately arrive at it. However, this ignores the fact that many people leave religion precisely because of rational inquiry. The more one scrutinizes faith-based claims with logic and evidence, the more their foundations crumble. The argument that a professor cannot explain their 50 years of knowledge to a child is used to justify the supposed incomprehensibility of God, but this reasoning is flawed.

Join Pastor Steve Gray and his wife Kathy as they tackle this thought-provoking question and share insights from their 50 years of marriage and ministry. We invite you to explore the true essence of spiritual growth, drawing on the powerful impact of God's Word to foster genuine transformation rather than just accumulating information.Travel back in time with us as we examine the church's journey from its first-century origins to its modern-day challenges. Learn how the early church was a beacon of obedience and community support, and why today's congregations face dwindling numbers and reduced influence. Through compelling stories from Revive Church and a small-town revival, we highlight the need for churches to adapt without losing their core values, emphasizing the vital importance of sustained spiritual growth and personal change.Key Takeaways:Many Christians attend church but feel something essential is missing in their spiritual journey.True church growth is not just about numbers but involves spiritual power and transformation.Churches must provide more than ear-pleasing sermons and foster environments where congregational change and spiritual encounters are prioritized.Outreach efforts that are unconnected from a church's spiritual mission are often just mechanisms to maintain interest among the congregation.Steve's insights underscore the importance of engaging with scripture for personal transformation, leading to an understanding of God's will.Looking for more?
